Remember that the US has more friends in high places than china.
and do you know that with this corona issue China has made more friends with the aid they're giving to people affected and do you know that they're currently helping 82 countries in this CoronaVirus case in which America is not left out and you're here saying America got more friends.

oga the table has turned and China is getting more popular every day with this issue

Iran already came into an agreement with the US EU Russia and China

Only for idiot in chief Trump to assume office and renege on am agreement

The question rather should be
Why did the USA renege on an multi partisan deal ..

But American influence over the media always skews things
Iran are not keeping their own part of the deal

At this critical time nations need to do everything and fight this coronavirus together all at once, unfortunately Trump's low reasoning ability would do more harm to the lives of Americans at this critical time.

China alone supplies both Iran and US medical and medicines. What If China decides to cut US supplies and increase that of Iran just to send Washington a message at this critical time of need? It's a terrible experience to be ruled by stupid leaders that make decisions that are capable of cutting lives short
You are very smart. UK is unable to curtail the spread of corona virus too because they have a very stupid leader.

Miillions of Iranians might perish due to coronavirus (doubt if the official figures being published are real, the death toll might be higher), but I doubt if Iran will break, similar thing happened during their war with Iraq, the west struggled Iran with sanctions while arming Saddam with deadly weapons (chemical weapons included), Iran was almost gassed into oblivion.

What happens when issue like this pops out, Iranians rally behind their government, giving the mullahs more legitimacy to hold on to power, they know who their real enemies are. But one thing is sure, Iranians will never surrender, a very proud and stubborn people.

dermmy what do you think?

You've said it all. Trump does not know history if Mr Trump knew how implacable the persians are he wouldn't have exited that deal. He thought Obama does not know what he was doing when he settled things with this people through diplomacy. Obama knew there was no way America could stop them from getting a nuclear bomb and sanctions even strengthens the hardliners in the country but Mr Trump ain't seeing things that way his pride won't allow him to accept the truth.

Like you have said they know who their real enemies are and will continue to resist the pressure.

With policies such as these, I doubt if there would be any regime change, the only people who can enforce that are Iranians, but with these evil and crippling sanctions during one of their darkest hours, they'd rather stay under their Islamic leaders than go the American way.

I was surprised at the number of volunteers that were coming out daily to support the health system, I thought they were mad at their leaders, similar thing played out in the 80's.

That's it. iranians are highly educated they know the politics behind this and won't allow U.S. to take over their country and install a puppet. They will continue to resist U.S. pressure and give support to their leaders they way the Cubans resisted for 60 years and are still resisting to this day.

so why the cry by Iran? you believe your enemy when he says your attack are not effective but beg you to stop the attack?

shooting a nuclear bomb into the sea is one thing.
manufacturing a nuclear warhead small enough to fit on to a missile and directing it to a specific target is another thing.

partial sanctions were placed on Cuba but their citizens are running away from the resulting poverty to the US.

What you fail to realize is this is a game and America is losing it. If America thinks Iranians would unseat their leaders through a revolution it won't work. Sanctions don't produce their desired political outcome.,If America thinks starving ordinary Iranians is the best way then they are following the wrong path that won't take them far.

Sanctions strengthens the hardliners in Iran. Their aim is to stop Iran from getting nukes and backing proxies in the middle east. Is the pressure working? What has it achieved for them? They know they are failing but pride won't allow Mr Trump to change his decision. Or do you think President Obama was a fool when he brought Iran to the table using diplomacy?

Years back Benjamin Netanyahu was hell bent on striking Iran's Nuclear facilities Barack Obama had to tell him he was on his own if he did it. Obama knew the consequences it would have on the middle east.

Sanction is a tool a country uses to achieve its political goals, you people think America is winning because Iranians are starving and dying. It hasn't achieved anything for America politically. The Iranians are more supportive of their leaders than ever before, Iran continues to enjoy support from its proxies and keeps enriching Uranium.

Do you know why America hates Iran this much? Cause Iran is the only country in that region that can put an end to U.S. adventurism through its proxies.

Iran didn't choose this path willingly America casued it, it started in the the 50's when CIA and British Mi6 unseated the democratically elected prime minister of Iran and installed a puppet that gave America oil concessions, the I979 revolution put an end to U.S. exploitation sanctions followed as usual.

The same thing they did to Cuba when Castro and his barbudos seized power from the American puppet that was exploiting the country for America. Look at the support America gave to saddam Hussein during the Iraq iran war.

The west allowed Saddam to gas Iranians, they provided Iraq with weapons while Iran fought with her spirit. Iran has learned the hard way and has made sure she must not suffer at the hands of the enemy anymore hence her powerful and unrivaled ballistic missile programme, hence her network of proxies in the middle east.

99% of Those Who Died From Virus Had Other Illness, Italy Says
By Tommaso Ebhardt, Chiara Remondini, and Marco Bertacche

Bloomberg
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-18/99-of-those-who-died-from-virus-had-other-illness-italy-says

More than 99% of Italy’s coronavirus fatalities were people who suffered from previous medical conditions, according to a study by the country’s national health authority.

After deaths from the virus reached more than 2,500, with a 150% increase in the past week, health authorities have been combing through data to provide clues to help combat the spread of the disease.

The new study could provide insight into why Italy’s death rate, at about 8% of total infected people, is higher than in other countries.

The Rome-based institute has examined medical records of about 18% of the country’s coronavirus fatalities, finding that just three victims, or 0.8% of the total, had no previous pathology. Almost half of the victims suffered from at least three prior illnesses and about a fourth had either one or two previous conditions.

More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease.

Exactly, they won't back down, sanctions aren't helpful in all situations and this is one example where sanctions can't give a good result, only pain and suffering, but the people won't break.

Chief, everyone here acknowledges the fact that sanctions are crippling, from day one, Iranians have always complained and cried about how crippling sanctions have become, their leaders always lament about the sanctions, even during the Iran-Iraq war, they cried out about the sanctions, but ask yourself this question, has US achieved her aims with these crippling sanctions?

Yes, many are suffering, many are starving, many are dying, but has these stopped Iran from expanding? has it stopped Iran from building one of the finest military in the region? has it stopped Iran from being a threat to America's interest in the region? has it resulted in any regime change? these are the questions you need to answer.

Obama realized all these, reason he went the diplomatic way.
